re: #96 Chrysicat

Didn’t see this response on the old thread, so I’ll throw it in now since I’ve only just come to after passing out a few minutes before the original comment was made:

In theory, they could. Of course, they’re no longer granted their grandfathered exemptions if that happens, so there’s no deal allowable for coming back in either: they will have to join Schengen, they will have to adopt the Euro within two years, and they will probably have to end any remaining rights of residence for Commonwealth citizens born outside of Great Britain and Northern Ireland itself (because otherwise they’d have free entry to reside in Europe without the visas that should be required to .do so).

So basically, the crash-out is permanent because they’d rather have a third-world economy than go into Schengen or use the Euro.

Brexit speculations aside: you all right after “passing out”??
